My original rear shock was done and I found EMC from my mechanic. They build rear shocks and front forks for the Gen 2. I just got installed the rear one (Shock 2) and I am impressed with the performance. Transaction was smooth and they arrived from France in less than a week already configured...

My rear shock is gone. Bike feels like a pogo stick :( Yamaha part # is 2S3-22210-00-00 but cannot find it anywhere. What other options are available for this if not Yamaha? Cheers!

I did the following initial mods when I got my stock Gen 2 10 years ago (I did more with the years but these initial ones made a big difference IMO): - Double D Clutch - Removed the CAT and replaced with x-pipe. Kept the original cans and the sound improvement was enough for me. The x-pipes are...
